AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn tight end Brandon Fulse will travel to Tennessee this week and likely see action for the first time since the Texas A&M game.

Fulse, who has missed three games due to off-the-field issues, will fit back into the rotation at the "5" receiver spot in Auburn's offense.

Fulse has caught one pass for five yards this season, taking over at the 5 after Jaylon Denson went down with a season-ending knee injury against LSU.

"He'll travel with us," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.

Fulse missed Auburn's games against Western Carolina, Florida Atlantic and Arkansas, a three-game stretch that mirrors the time missed by right tackle Patrick Miller, who returned to action last week against the Razorbacks.

Fulse will likely see reps as a blocker on the outside right away.

With C.J. Uzomah healthy and playing well, though, Fulse is likely not a starter at the "5," the spot he held when Uzomah was battling a calf strain earlier this season.

Miller lost his starting role to Avery Young at right tackle during his absence from the lineup.

"(Young is the starter) as of right now," Malzahn said. "There’s still really good competition upfront. Avery has done very well, but at the same time, Pat is a good football player in his own right."
